This summer, we are pleased to highlight our scholarship recipients from the HPHS Class of 2026. Stay tuned for more posts throughout the month highlighting all scholarship recipients. 💙🎓⭐

Each year, HPEF awards scholarships to college-bound seniors at the HPHS Senior Honors Day assembly in May. We are grateful to over 100 volunteers who serve as scholarship application evaluators. Each student's application is blindly assessed by 3 to 4 reviewers, and final recipients are selected based on aggregate scores.

We also want to thank our many generous donors who have endowed these scholarships to recognize HP students and aid in their college tuition. To learn more about this program, visit: hpef.org/scholarships

Thank you to everyone who supported our Lead for Tomorrow endowment campaign, which launched in 2021 and concluded at the end of 2025. Our goal was to grow our foundation's Tartan Endowment to support HPISD and to increase unrestricted support that can be used now – and in the future – for the district’s greatest needs. With your support, we are thrilled to have raised more than $47 million! ⭐

As endowment donors complete their pledges in the coming years, the annual amount of grants awarded to HPISD through HPEF will grow tremendously. Continued gifts to our annual campaign, Mad for Plaid, combined with a stronger Tartan Endowment, create a powerful combination and bright future for every student, every teacher, and every school across HPISD. ✨

Enjoy these photos from our campaign celebration event on April 29!
